I believe the 480EX has built-in remote capability with the 60D

That's overkill for most people. It's a powerful flash, but if you're shooting something stationary, like a car, coffee mug, whatever...off camera strobes would be better anyways.

Looks like it. 430 EX II... much more reasonably priced.

If I buy the 60D I wonder if it's worth it to get it with one of the kit lenses. 18-135 or 18-200.

The 600's big advantage is remote control of multiple flash units. I have the 580 EX II and it does a great job.

It's a remote wireless 'slave' unit so I would check on the 60D's capability as a master unit....otherwise you might need a speedlite transmitter to shoot wireless. Not that important a factor though.

I bought it with the 18-200mm and paid $1249 complete. The body alone was $1199...

The 60D is capable of Master function with remote slave flashes (480EX and up)

I think that the 600 can function as "master".

480? I see no 480, only 430.

It is the 430.

Amazon has the 60D with 18-200 kit lens for $1299, then another ~275 for a flash should I choose to get one. Hmmm...

You talkng about the Speedlite 600? or the 60D? I just wasn't sure about the 60D. I shoot with a Nikon and my D90 can act as a Master and so can my SB-900.

Enablers. :shakes head:

B&H pricing looks competitive with Amazon, but I get $3.99/item overnight shipping with Prime.
